    Would it be easier to modify a generic_db object or a news object
    to hold that information for later dumping into a file.
    Also, what object actually handles writing to files, i.e.,
    for dumping during checkpointing.  If anyone has implemented
    this or can point me to the code, that would make things easier.

    Hmm.  Tricky.  The thing is, dumping is not handled by a particular object.
    Every now and then (by default) the server itself saves a copy of everything to
    the drive.  If you had, say, a very large $note that kept the log, it would get
    dumped too.  However, it will all be dumped into the same file.  You have a
    couple of options that I can think of.  #1 open a network connection to an ftp
    daemon, say, and upload through that.  You could also have it mail it to you.
    #2.  Save it in the .db file with some funky comments at the beginning and end,
    then use a program running in Unix to extract that log.  Either way it will be
    a pain to implement, and probably too hard.  Why do you need it in a separate
    file?  Would in-db be good enough?
